Recyclable Car Materials explores the shift toward sustainable automotive manufacturing, driven by environmental concerns and the need for a circular economy.
The book examines how car manufacturers are increasingly using recycled plastics and plant-based materials to reduce the environmental impact of vehicles.
It highlights the transformation required in material science, supply chains, and manufacturing processes to support this shift.
The book uniquely analyzes the entire value chain, from material sourcing to vehicle recycling, offering a solutions-oriented approach.
One key insight is the economic viability of sustainable practices, challenging the traditional reliance on non-renewable resources.
The book addresses the ongoing debate between material performance, cost, and environmental impact, presenting evidence from various perspectives, and emphasizes the role of recycling in the automotive industry.
Structured in three parts, the book begins with fundamental concepts, then examines case studies of successful implementations, and concludes with broader implications.
It connects to fields like environmental science and economics, providing a holistic view for automotive engineers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of the green automotive industry.
